    Windows search partially working


    I've got an interesting situation,

    I have a windows server with multiple drives and multiple file shares, about once a week windows search stops working on just one drive (C:) searching anything on that drive returns white unclickable icons and wrong metadata (like file type).

    When searching over SMB the results are the same, but when searching from the root of the server (eg \\server instead of \\server\data) I do get back normal results.

    A restart of the Windows search service resolves the issue, but I cannot figure out what is causing this issue.

    Update: After restarting the windows search service I was able to see in indexing settings that the second drive wasn't even being indexed, so this is pointing to the indexing service being at fault. Which brings me to my next question why does search then even work on the second drive? and even more why when searching \\server results are returned from the indexed drive?
